? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

FAWE developed the Gender-Responsive Pedagogy (GRP) model to address the quality of teaching in African schools. The model trains teachers to be more gender-aware and equips them with the skills to understand and address the specific learning needs of both sexes. It develops teaching practices that engender equal treatment and participation of girls and boys in the classroom and in the wider school community.
